what are frats looking for

Just rush man. There’s honestly no right answer to this question. Every house has a slightly different vibe and will be looking for different traits in rushes. In general, be sociable and willing to talk/interact with a wide variety of people in a wide variety of settings. Show you’re genuinely interested in each chapter and really spend time getting to know brothers (especially seniors) because they are going to be meeting so many kids they will have a hard time keeping them all straight. I’ve been in the room before when the frat liked someone, but thought they didn’t spend enough time at smokers so they were passed over. Be able to relate to people, know something about popular subjects for small talk like sports, the Greek system, etc. just be yourself and spend enough time with a couple houses you really could see yourself at and you will be fine. It’s also important to keep a frats disciplinary history in mind, as you don’t want to join a frat only to have it kicked off the next month.
